Title: Machines for Automatically Applying Labels and Wrappers to Tins, Bottles and the like
Inventor: HORNE JAMES AUSTIN
Filed: 1905-08-05
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 16,059. Horne, J. A. Aug. 5. Gumming, pasting, and the like.-In a machine for labelling and wrapping tins &c., of the type described in Specification No. 14,885, A.D. 1898, the objects 20 pass down a slope 8 into a turnstile 10, from which they are fed singly at suitable intervals. Each tin &c. then rolls over and removes resin from disks 11, which rotate in a bath of the molten material, and passes on to the horizontal tray 1, along which it rolls by gravity, or is propelled by an endless band 4 pressed into engagement by yielding rollers 7. In its passage, it passes over the front of a pile of labels 15, the upper label, which is kept in position by the weight 16, adhering to the resin on the can and being drawn out from the holder, and its rear portion receiving a line of paste from the endless band 23, so that the label is wrapped round the article and its overlapping end secured. When the label is longer than the circumference of the tin &c., the latter may be pasted by the belt 23 and. in addition, by the two plain or grooved rollers 26, 27, Fig. 4, being held in the position shown for a predetermined interval by the finger 28, and again started on its passage by a finger 29. In the case of bottles of which the necks project over the side of the tray, neck labels may be applied from a second pi!e by means of a separate pasting-device. The labelled tin &c. next passes over and removes resin from rollers 29, and then depresses the finger 42, turning the pulley 44 to raise the weight 148 and to lift the finger 49 from the paste box 50 on to the rear of the top wrapper of the pile 33. The wrappers are pressed against stops 39 by the action of a weight 148, downward motion being prevented by a pawl 41. As the tin &c. proceeds, the weight 148 falls, restoring the fingers 42, 49 to their original positions, and the uppermost wrapper is withdrawn from the pile and wrapped round the can. Specifications No. 13,075, A.D. 1905, and No. 13,076, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Packing &c.], are also referred to.

Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 28,598. Maurer, L. Dec. 14. Movable - abument type having axially - sliding abutments. The working space 16 is enclosed by helical surfaces forming the adjacent ends of the piston 5, and the cylindrical sliding abutment 6. The piston revolves in the cylinder 1 and is packed by spring rings 28 on the end only. The abutment 6 is held from rotation by feathers 11 in the cylinder but may slide along the shaft 2. It is packed inside and outside by spring rings 8, 10. The working space is in open communication with a box 17 having a spring-controlled inlet valve at the top and a cam-actuated exhaust valve at the bottom. Starting from the position shown in Fig. 2, as the piston which is fixed to the shaft 2 revolves, the working space lengthens, the helical surfaces, at the same time, causing the abutment to slide to the right. Into this space, the explosive mixture is drawn. Then when the ends 13, 28 of the surfaces have passed one another, as shown in Fig. 6, the cam-surfaces 15, Fig. 1, which engage with a fixed bowl r, cause the abutment to slide to the left, thus bringing the parts back to position shown in Fig. 2 and compressing the charge. The mixture is then exploded in any usual way and the piston is driven round again, as the charge expands, until the position of Fig. 6 is again reached, when the abutment is moved back again towards the left and the burnt gases are expelled. A number of pistons may be arranged on one shaft.
